James and the Giant Peach is a popular children’s novel written in 1961 by the British author Roald Dahl. The plot centers on a young English orphan boy who enters a gigantic, magical peach, and has a cross-world adventure with the six insects he meets. The boy lived happily with his parents until rhinoceros escaped from the London zoo and ate his parents. James stayed with his two evil aunts, Aunt Spiker and Aunt Sponge. They made the boy work long hours chopping wood and cleaning. They did not allow him to come out of the house and locked him in the basement to sleep on the cold floor. He didn’t go to school or play with other children. They didn’t give him enough food. The evil aunts wished that he would die.

One day James meets an old wizard who gives him a small bag of magic green crystals. These crystals have the power to help James with his problems. James falls and drops them into the roots of a peach tree. Soon a peach appears on the tree and the aunts sell tickets to view it as it becomes the size of a house. Later, six insects invite James inside the peach. The insects ate some of his magic green crystals and grew to become as large as James. Together, they roll away in the giant peach - leaving his aunts behind them. They have many adventures on their way to New York City across the Atlantic Ocean. The book is enjoyable!
